I would like that a lot, I do have a PC that I would like to run, in fact I will be playing her in the Delve tonight (unless we have too many people). IN fact I am going to create a thread in this forum to track everyone who said yes to tonights delve. Then we can determine if we need two rooms. Also, rotating DM's is suggested in much of the literature, because it helps everyone learn the game better, and keeps it from getting stale for some people, as different DM;s will have different styles.

If you want to run yours, I would be more than happy to play my character in it. I hope it isn't the module I planned on playing I will PM you the name of the module I was going to use.

edit- looks like noodles had the same module planned

The good news for you then, is we have the digital maps for import into Maptool. YAY!!!

I will get you the images you will need for it sometime over the next couple days (for the maps I mean). It will make the setup in Maptool so much easier. I have only read 2 encounters into the module, and have not read the backstory at all, so I don't know many spoilers.

I don't think we need to worry about it if it is only a difference of a level, but if we swap out DM for Players and there is a considerable difference in level for those entering the next chapter, then at the DM's discretion (and yes, I read this in a book), a character can be leveled, but would start at the base XP for that level. For now I wouldn't worry about it too much, or there are other weighted factors we could use to balance things.

For Example:

5 Party members are level 2 and 1 is level 1. We can weight the XP division, to favor the lower level character in distribution, say 20% increase of 'piece of pie' per level difference. I am sure that if I sat down and figured out a matrix for it, it would be really simple. 20% was just an example, don't hold me to that.
